Healthcare I promise to continue fighting back against legislation that makes healthcare less accessible and more expensive. Expanding access to healthcare insurance and mental health programs is critical so more Iowans can get the care they need. Healthcare is a right, and our work is not done until every Iowan is able to see a doctor when they need care. Environment / Energy I believe that unsustainable practices have a negative effect on our local economy, so I will fight hard to accelerate the adoption of clean energy technologies that will create good local jobs and advance our leadership in the transition to the new energy economy. Education I will continue fighting to fully fund and support K-12 public education. I promise to always stand up for our public school teachers and parents so our children and families have all the resources they need to succeed. I know that we must extend those resources for our students beyond high school as well. Iowa's community colleges, technical training programs, and state universities all provide paths to success. Higher education, whether it be at UNI or Hawkeye Community College, should be affordable and accessible for all Iowans. Government Reform I will always stand up against those who rig the system in their favor because I believe the interests of everyday Iowa families should come first.
